Paul Marriott, the editor, has supplied the following details:
"As we continue to mark the 80th anniversary since VE Day, we hear more on the amazing story of Peggy Knight who was parachuted into occupied France to work with the resistance before going on to lead a very ordinary life.
There’s also more about the larger than life character we called Casanova that cathedral guide and actor, David Titley brought to life in a one man stage play.
We find out about a scheme to help men to break the cycle of loneliness and benefit the community at the same time and we head to a retreat centre in the heart of the beautiful Peak District.
And if that isn’t enough we speak to an author who’s been researching the relationship Queen Victoria had with her Prime Ministers.
There is a very important chat we want to share with you about what is being done to make churches more friendly places to people with dementia.
Add in the news from the parishes of the diocese, the wider church and what’s happening in the natural world at this time of year and there really is something for everyone."
